The most useless warships

239

These ships are truly lucky. In a real combat situation they would have been “broken” to the fullest. The very first battle threatened them with heavy losses, not justified by anything other than the obstinacy of high ranks and the excess profits of the "effective managers" involved in the creation of these vessels. Whose decisions were dictated by any considerations other than enhancing combat effectiveness fleet.

And the enemy ... The enemy would have minted commemorative medals and celebrated victories. Of course, without mentioning the fact that the losers simply had inefficient ships.



Leading unprepared people into battle means betraying them.

(Sun Tzu.)

But the battle check did not take place. Everyone gradually forgot about the shortcomings of those ships and were even proud of them.

Awkward and incapable, they displayed a flag in peacetime, after which they peacefully perished in a re-melting. Their heirs continue to sunbathe under the Californian sun, without worrying about anything in their careers.

The specific names of those who are guilty of creating vessels cannot be named. Ships - the fruit of the collective mind, which often took on strange forms.

Separate design teams worked on their narrow tasks, unaware of the overall progress of the project. As for the appearance and the concept of application, they were also chosen by more than one person. Any ship is a compromise in the struggle of interest groups, often holding completely opposite views on the tasks facing the fleet.

Inadequate terms of reference gave rise to problems associated with the need to combine fantasies with harsh reality. Another time, courage of ideas was ahead of the possibilities of technology. Innovation literally “devoured” the ship.

Somewhere too many “effective managers” have stolen. It is no secret that most projects born in peacetime have a single goal: to cut the defense budget.

But pretty philosophy. We are waiting for at least five not the best pages from stories navy. If a respected reader decides that five cases are not enough, he can always expand this list by adding his “nominees” to it.

Large cruisers such as Alaska


Alaska and the same type of Guam are real American veterans. Participants in the fighting in the Pacific. On a cloudy morning of April 1945, they, along with six battleships in the 10 community of aircraft carriers, boldly advanced to intercept the Yamato (with full confidence that the battle would end before the arrival of the linear forces).

The canonical description of Alaska among marinist historians was this phrase:

Too large and expensive to be used as cruisers and too weak and vulnerable to joint operations with battleships ... according to American experts themselves, they "were the most useless of the large ships built during the Second World War."

(Kofman VL Supercruiser 1939-1945. "Big cruisers" type "Alaska.")

The most useless warships

In addition to the indistinct application concept, super cruisers were built without attention to anti-torpedo protection - nonsense for the shipbuilding of the 1940's. The very first meeting with the submarine threatened Alaska and the two thousand sailors aboard it with a catastrophe similar to the death of Barham or the Japanese Congo.

Of the six planned cruisers, two were completed. On the third building, the admiral’s enthusiasm was completely exhausted, and the construction of the large (in Russian sources - linear) cruiser “Hawaii” was stopped at a degree of readiness of 80%.


Alaska (left) and the Washington battleship awaiting a cut line

After a couple of years of aimless walking on the waters of the Pacific Ocean, Alaska and Guam were joked. The next dizzying step in their career was cutting for scrap.

American universal landing ships (1971 g.- n.a.)


It began with Tarava and continues to this day. UDC “Wasp”, “Makin Island” and the project with the proud name “America”.

Unarmed low-speed "barges" worth billions of dollars. Too expensive to operate in peacetime and completely useless in combat.

The fleet did not feel the need for such bulky landing ships. Also, as the marines themselves did not feel the need for them. "Tarava" did not fit into the concept of the use of the Marine Corps - there they realized for a long time that classic landings were a thing of the past.

Only one side was interested in creating super-UDC. The shipyard in Pascagul, where this one was built, and all subsequent 45 000-ton hippos.


The shipyard is distinguished by enviable performance - to date, there have already been 15 landing helicopter carriers. And the value of recent contracts has crossed the line of 3 billion dollars per unit.

In practice, all transport tasks of the UDC are provided by a fleet of military transports, which larger and faster any "Tarawa", while also able to unload on the high seas.

Tactical helicopter landings are made from the decks of high-speed aircraft carriers of the Nimitz class (as was the case during Operation Eagle Claw).

In peacetime, more modest ships cope with the tasks of patrolling, including Helicopter carriers based on civilian tankers. Which is being built at the present time.

Unlike the Europeans, indulging in their Mistrals, the US Navy has a large fleet of nuclear aircraft carriers, against which the capabilities of the Uospa and Taravy air groups look simply awkward.


It is interesting that, despite the increased price tag, the new generation of UDC “America” completely lost the docking camera for landing boats, turning into a stub of a classic aircraft carrier without catapults, crawling at a speed of 20 knots.

Well, the main question - who wants to be on her deck in the war zone, under the fire of the "Bastions" and "Caliber"?

Heavy Aircraft Cruisers


Compared with the American “Tarava”, its peer, TAKR “Kiev”, seems an undoubted triumph. His example shows how many combat systems can be placed on a ship with a displacement of 40 thousand tons!


Eight anti-ship "Basalts", four medium and short-range air defense systems, anti-submarine missiles, perfect sonar, artillery. Crew 2000 people. Power plant power - 180 000 hp (2,5 times higher than that of Tarava). Cruising range - more than one and a half times.

But this story has a flip side.

It is difficult to contain resentment by observing what the idea of ​​the Soviet aircraft carrier fleet in the 1970-80-e was.

8 anti-ship missiles - a salvo of one submarine, etc. 670M. All other armaments of the 40-thousand-ton TAKR corresponded to the 7-thousand-ton BOD.

Such giants should not be built in order to cross the arms of an anti-submarine ship and a submarine. 270 meters of length are required for the takeoff / run of jet aircraft with a take-off mass of tens of tons.

However, missile launchers and a bulky superstructure occupied half of the upper deck of the TAKR. In the remaining half, a handful of Yak-38 without a radar and a combat radius of 150 km crowded.


In the absence of any alternative, helicopters became the main active force of the air group. As such, the TAKRs traveled all over the world, depicting the Soviet aircraft carrier fleet. More vague questions were given vague explanations: "TAKR is not an aircraft carrier," "it has important anti-submarine missions," "there are few aircraft, but count the missiles."

The final result, despite all the technical splendor, never once met the plan for the appearance of aircraft carrier ships in the Soviet Navy. The last hopes of the supporters of this idea, who promoted the aircraft carrier’s design under the camouflage designation “TAKR”, were ultimately destroyed by supporters of the opposite point of view.

Who was ready to spend billions of rubles, and if necessary, to pay with thousands of other people's lives in order to justify their erroneous postulates and original ideas about the appearance of the fleet.

Zamvolt


The creators of Zamvolt faced a difficult mission. Create a destroyer capable of surpassing the very successful Orly Burke project.


It turned out powerfully.

Six antennas of an all-seeing radar, from which neither a periscope flashed among the waves, nor a satellite at cosmic heights. Combined missile-cannon weapons. New layout. Instead of crowded sections of UVP - the placement of missiles around the perimeter of the deck, in mines with kick panels. Unprecedented visibility reduction measures. Increase in the overhaul life of mechanisms. Crew reduction.

Of all the promises, almost nothing has been achieved. The tactical and technical assignment of Zamvolt can be safely transferred to the science fiction library.

The creators of the cannons, who perverted the very idea of ​​naval artillery of the 21st century, were especially pleased. Instead of an auxiliary system, ready to bring down a shower of "blanks", invulnerable to any "Shell" and air defense systems, with a minimum reaction time and immunity to weather conditions, something surprising happened here. The artillery shot of Zamvolt was equal in cost to the launch of a cruise missile!

For such ships that have not gone into the series, there is a poetic nickname "White Fleet Elephants". But the three Zamvolta built are “lame elephants” who have not received even half of the combat systems envisaged by the project. And given the initial level of ambition, the Zamvolt project suffered a deafening fiasco.

There is not a single gram of sympathy in these lines. The hostile nation “failed” the program to create a new generation of destroyers. Seven feet above the keel. We wish partners to work in the same direction, increasing the degree of absurdity.

However, they can cope with this without our advice.


Little Crappy Ship (LCS)


The fleet cannot consist only of cruisers and destroyers alone; for some tasks, ships of the third rank are needed. Instead of the usual watchtowers and corvettes, the LCS, an innovative coastal warship, was proposed. The speed looked a little strange - 50 knots, of great importance for a displacement ship of this size. But the rich have their own quirks ...

In reality, for half the cost of a missile destroyer, it turned out to be a “vessel”, in which, instead of Aegis, a MANPADS, and a machine gun from shock weapons. The modular concept did not materialize. Firstly, the time taken to replace the modules. Secondly, the very availability of the right models. Finally, quick-detachable equipment is inferior in capabilities to complete systems.


The creators of LCS continue to insist on "special tasks in the coastal zone", but the sailors have a simpler opinion. With the funds spent on creating the LCS, it was easier to build a dozen Orly Berkov corps with a reduced armament. Full-fledged combat units would have turned out, in contrast to the “littoral ship”, which is not capable of withstanding even the simplest threats.

Anti-rating is not limited to the presented examples.


Here could be, for example, artillery submarines. French "Surkuf" and a series of Soviet squadron submarines of the type "Pravda". Absolutely crazy ideas, embodied in metal, contrary to all the arguments of skeptics.

The creators of Surkuf and Pravda did not seem to notice that the submarine, due to its specific contours, layout, and less buoyancy, was categorically incapable of operating in the same formation with destroyers and other surface ships. A submarine from such a “diving destroyer” will also turn out to be dubious.

Which was confirmed in practice.

In a later era, the Americans distinguished themselves by building “very large light cruisers” of the “Worcester” type with automatic 152-mm “anti-aircraft guns”. At a time when the danger from high-altitude bombers was recognized as practically zero, and completely different caliber and rate of fire were required to ensure ship's air defense.

Nowadays, the Germans are weird with their frigate F125 Baden-Württemberg. A huge, empty and slow-moving box with a displacement of 7000 tons, bearing almost no less weaponsthan the Russian RTO Karakurt (800 tons).

As you can see, the number of inadequate and meaningless projects will increase steadily over time. A direct consequence of the fact that 40 of the most developed economies in the world have not fought each other for 70 years. In such circumstances, priority is given to profits from the implementation of a project in the field of military shipbuilding. Be sure, we will see many more paradoxical and not too useful constructions.

        The forty most developed economies in the world have not fought each other over the past 70 years. Humanity has not known such a strong and long period of peace since the time of the Roman Empire.

        All the losses of the USSR for nine years of war in Afghanistan matched one day Kursk arc. Together, all armed conflicts, civil wars and genocides of the past 70 years have claimed fewer lives than World War II. This is even more surprising given the almost three-fold increase in the population of the Earth.

            There are no useless ships, especially in the world of capital. The main purpose of the ship is to "make money". The developer company and the manufacturer make a project that is accepted (or not accepted by the Navy department). We need to make sure that the project is accepted, and even launched into a series. Competitors are eliminated, the project has gone into series, the interested parties have received a good sum. And no one is interested in the need for this ship, he went to work. This is no longer a useless ship, but a ship that brings "golden eggs". This is the world of capital.

If anyone does not know then go read what is "managerial hell" during landing operations.

                    It is very difficult.

                    We need to dig a topic starting from World War II, understand how the concept of landing from WWII to Korea and the Suez crisis evolved, then be aware of Vietnam’s naval assault forces, the role of helicopter carriers in them, the problems identified during these operations, the impact of the idea of ​​Sea Control Ship on the minds of naval commanders , etc. etc.

                    Here's a question to ask - how is the landing capacity of the Amer UDC and the states of their expeditionary units connected, given the fact that MEU may have very different staff depending on the task?

                    But how is the fact of the existence of large UDCs connected with the fact that the President of the United States can use only MPs without the permission of Congress? This is not a question for everyone. You need to know military history, to think about tactical issues of landing on shore, to know English.
                    Kaptsov clearly did not want to delve into it all.

          Our real naval commanders in the real conditions of the Russo-Japanese, WWI and WWII ruled in such a way that it seems better to entrust Kaptsov. And judging by the accident rate and after the Second World War is not better.

        In America, for a long time, decisions on one or another weapon system for the navy, air force or ground forces have been made not by generals (admirals), designers or production workers, but by the financial lobby in Washington. And they have the same criterion, the more expensive the better. Hence the airplanes "V - 2", "F - 22", "F - 35". Aircraft carriers "Ford", although the sailors were quite happy with "Nimitz". Destroyers "Zamvolt" although "Arlie Burke" are still very much in line with reality. And there are plenty of such examples.

      Indeed - the author does not know why the camera dock was removed in the first two Americas. He is not aware that there is physically no place on paratroopers for servicing aircraft engines and the marines have to carry them with helicopters to the shore or to an aircraft carrier. Therefore, on the LHA 6,7, the dock was given for repair boxes, turning them into self-sufficient aircraft carriers and allowing the Expeditionary Groups to operate independently, without the support of the AUG.

            But the truth is curious.

            One frigate 22350 costs $ 277 million. America - $ 3,4 billion. We'll throw another billion on the wing. Thus, one "America" ​​costs 16 frigates 22350 (but here it is also necessary to take into account that construction in different countries, they are built in one country, probably "America" ​​would be 10-12 frigates).

            Let's try to estimate which of them can hit the shore harder, one "America" ​​or 16 "Gorshkovs".

            16 Gorshkovs, 16 Calibers, 0,4 ton warheads each.

            16 x 16 x 0,4 = 102 tons of warheads

            There are six F-35Bs on board America. One F-35B, these are two two thousand-pound ZhIPiEs aerial bombs in one sortie. To be honest, I don't know how many ammunition they have. Well, roughly such ships are in the areas of hostilities for a month. Let's take 20 ammunition for the plane.

            Total: 6 x 2 x 0,9 x 20 = 216 tons.

            Those. for one only ammunition "Lightning" "America" ​​is twice as effective as the cost of "Gorshkov". And on it there are 7 more Sea Cobra helicopters. Each takes 76 HIDRA missiles at a time, each missile has a warhead of one kilogram.

            7 x 76 x 20 = 10 tons

            But the value of each such kilogram is much higher than a kilogram of the ZHPS of the directed ammunition, because the latter fall with a ten-meter deviation, and HIDRoy is aimed with direct fire through the cross of the sight. She can destroy a bunker, hit a moving target. In addition, there are Hellfire missiles, which more accurately hit moving armored vehicles. One helicopter takes 16 such missiles at a time. Let there be fewer of them, just a couple of ammunition, then

            16 x 7 x 2 = 224 missiles, which can correspond to roughly 150 armored targets destroyed, i.e. replace hits of at least 300 "Caliber" (and then only if the target is stationary, and its coordinates are known).

            So, air bombs = 200 calibers
            HYDRA = let another 30
            "Hellfires" = 300 (provided that the enemy uses a large number of armored vehicles)
            cannon ammunition - well, let another 20

            Total 550. only the armament of the America's air group is five and a half times more powerful. Or two and a half times, if the enemy does not have armored vehicles. Even without taking into account the weapons of the landing. We must also take into account the flexibility of use, the ability to conduct reconnaissance both from the air and from the ground by sabotage groups. The ability to conduct air combat. The ability to occupy the territory with a landing party. And many, many more advantages, and everything is on the side of the landing party.

        Dieppe refuted your point of view that landing ships can be replaced by transports. Before the raid on Dieppe, there was such a theory in use that, they say, we suddenly land three hundred of the coolest commandos on shore, they will capture the entire port infrastructure as quickly and easily as in a modern action movie. Then we will drive transports to these berths, pulling tanks from the holds by port cranes and driving the fritz. None of this came out.

              And what is there to redo? Helicopters take off, and for the rest there are cranes. Even cruise missiles, at least S-300.
              Here is the legendary Arctic Sea. What is not UDC?



              But in general, a cargo ship makes money for the country in peacetime, and the UDC only spends it.

                The idea of ​​"making a military vessel out of a civilian vessel" has many problems
                1) pitch stabilization systems
                2) coupled geo-positioning systems with systems without towing mooring
                3) landing support systems (from air to the toilet)
                4) the system of dumping / lifting the landing from the water during the waves
                5) platforms for maintenance of aircraft and ground equipment
                6) strength parameters for the installation of weapons (at least UVP)
                and much more.
                In general, the idea, although possible for implementation, but with a significant reduction in fleet performance characteristics.

                In general, personally, analyzing this idea, I came to the conclusion that we need a special project of a military-civilian ship with the function of "militarization-demilitarization in the port" on which "military sailors in reserve" would serve and which would be leased to private-state firms (including foreign). But at the same time, in order to preserve the capabilities of the Navy, it will be necessary to strengthen the submarine fleet and create military transport aircraft-like aircraft with VTOL (VTOL) and various elements to them (from reusable buoys with SACs to retractable radar-AWACS and much more).

But the use of GDP attack aircraft is already the result of the effect produced on the admirals by the "aircraft carrier" type of anti-submarine cruiser, just as the increase in VI led to the temptation of giving additional. anti-aircraft functions ("Basalt").

    Controversial assessments and equally controversial examples.
    I strongly disagree with "Minsk" (I visited it in the 86th year). The ship could please the eye of the layman for a long time. As an anti-submarine operator, he was late, since the launch lines of SLBMs had moved away from our shores by the 80s, and as an aircraft carrier appeared early, since there was no aircraft. But, the main purpose of these ships was to educate the personnel of carrier-based aviation. There would be a plane, and there would be no questions. And as the concept of a "light" aircraft carrier, the TAVKR anticipated the current world madness, based on the results of the Anglo-Argentine conflict and the idea of ​​the Americans to assign the aviation component of the ASW to the allies.
    "Tarawa"? In the days of historical materialism, he was a helicopter carrier. Americans at that time were sick with helicopters after Korea and Vietnam. Who will condemn them? Yes, and we had boats ... "Wasp" is an attempt to make the same "Tarawa" work in "peacetime". But, the main task of the UDC, the fight against boats and air cover for the convoys, no one removed from them. It is enough to look at the "program" of any NATO exercise in the 70-80s.
    The Sumvolt is an American attempt to replicate the success of the Dreadnought. So to speak, in one day to cross out everything previously built, and go into the lead at a qualitative leap. And if we return to the Marxist-Leninist philosophy, it will become clear that Sumvolts, even rich countries, cannot have many. An example of this are battleships of the 40s, the price and, most importantly, the cost of operating which exceeded all conceivable limits. So it's not clear. what else will come of it.
    "Alaska" was built at a time when all battleships opposing America had already been destroyed. It was pointless to drive your own to give "combat stability" to the AUG, so this project was born. It was not the stupidity of the developers that killed him, but the development of the URO. This is the fate of all projects that are being built at the turn of the eras - as an artillery ship, it surpasses everything previously built (remember "Tsukuba"), and as a ship of a new era, it was slaughtered on the slipway.

      That's it, that layman. Then you yourself pointed out that as a hunter for SSBNs he was late.
      It is quite true that the aircraft carrier was spoiled by the installation of the Basalt anti-ship missile system (and the Vodopad PLRK was not needed in the presence of submarine helicopters).
      The concept of a "light aircraft carrier", like an aircraft carrier in general, implies a "clean deck" - this is a direct and well-known conclusion based on the results, and along the way, of WWII. The pre-war aircraft carriers had anti-ship weapons - during the war they were quickly removed, tk. turned out to be their uselessness and harmfulness (they took up space, pulled the weight). And on the aircraft carrier, project 1143, they returned to the presence of anti-ship weapons by installing Basalts. If it were not for it, the ship would be a real "light" aircraft carrier.

      "Tarawa"? In the days of historical materialism, he was a helicopter carrier. Americans at that time were sick with helicopters after Korea and Vietnam. Who will condemn them?

      And who condemns for helicopters? Helicopters are the most useful and useful thing for naval landing. They condemn for a false approach to the integration of a helicopter carrier and a dock ship in one mega-ship.
      UDC Tarava being UDC actively involved in the operational-strategic PLO. So tell me how much more efficiently this task would be carried out by a clean helicopter carrier without carrying a huge heavy dock camera under its belly? Americans went the wrong way.

        There was no plane and there was no helicopter, because there was no kerosene, there was no motor resource, there was no RSL (according to one of our teachers, one buoy cost as "Volga"), but there was a KPUG, "Waterfall" was, "Basalt" was, and "Storm" is the same, by the way, the URC - so the nuclear warhead shies away that it will not seem a little.
        And "Tarawa" grew out of "Iwo Jima", which, in turn, grew out of "Essex" left after the war, which were transferred to the category of "light aircraft carriers", because in comparison even with "Midway" they looked like that could receive jet planes. Light aircraft carriers, as a class, emerged during the war, as escort ships at the beginning, and later, as ships of control of the area. Airborne assault vehicles and marines are nothing more than an attempt to enlist these useless ships in peacetime in police duties. "War is ... war!"

      Sorry, Paul, but about Alaska, you're a little mistaken. They were taken to the reserve when about URO NOBODY EVEN AND DID NOT THINK serially. Especially about RCC. Alaska was withdrawn to the reserve on Feb. 17. 1947 Guam even before. Back in February 1946. And how is it consistent with the URO ??? Somehow I do not have enough imagination. Moreover, both of them were the only ones in the Amer fleet to carry a 305mm caliber, which created certain supply problems. Of course, probably in their warehouses shells of armadillos were littered even before the dreadnought era laughing So unfortunately Oleg is still right about Alaska. You can read more about the reasons for creating Alaska here: http://www.historyofwar.org/articles/weapons_alaska_class_cruisers.html
      And even if Alaska were really necessary ships, then what the hell after only 2-3 years of operation, they were put in reserve ??? And then they were never decommissioned again. But Iow was written off only in the 90s

        Alaska was built to give combat stability to high-speed aircraft carriers, which the Americans already had, but high-speed battleships did not yet exist. They were taken to the reserve, as I said, in view of the fact that the goals for them ended. And they wrote off, because the URO did not leave any chance for them. You find yourself in the typical trap of names, classifications, translations into Russian, comparisons with our "classification", etc. Can you tell me what a "cruiser", "battleship" or "ship" is? I think that the etymology of these words will greatly surprise you. A "schooner", "brig", "frigate" or "battleship" can be "cruisers"? Or vice versa - a "brig" or "frigate" can be "battleships"? Having answered these questions, you can understand the rest - all sorts of "destroyers", "battleships", "corvettes-frigates", etc.

    Kaptsov such Kaptsov.

    1. Alaska. The idea of ​​a small LC / LKR / super cruiser was by the end of the 30s. One way or another, all the tops had something similar (English and Japanese LKR, Italian grandfathers under speed, Charles / Gnei, Dunkirk). The Americans had a failure in this regard, so Alaska was urgently needed. Another issue is that the project was unsuccessful, and managed late, came under Iowa.

    3.TAKR. It's hard to say something, thanks comrade. Ustinov for our happy childhood.

    4. Zumvolt. Freaks of wealthy people. What bad things can be said about him: when he finally turned into a technology demonstrator, it was worth cramming even more bows, but rewriting into an experimental ship. In this case, he would be quite in place.

    5.LKS. This is an openly wrecking project in which Americans were secretly consulted by the late Mikhail Vasilyevich Egorov, a hero of labor. In particular, it was he who prompted the Americans to accept the ships of two projects at the same time in the fleet, none of which can carry out tasks of the Perry type, which they should replace. Savings on matches (the trimaran was out of order, because steel water cannons were attached directly to the aluminum hull to save weight and money), the reception of ships for which there was no planned armament, all in the traditions of the late USSR. And the price, of course, is the traditional American crazy price.

    6. Squadron submarines. The author mentions two of them, but they were also very unsuccessful among the British. Bad idea, but again more or less universal.

    7. Worcester. The idea to create 6 "Atlanta was unsuccessfully implemented, but basically it was not completely insane. In the first post-war years, the Americans did not install anything in the air defense, including the LK. The idea of ​​missile air defense was not immediately accepted by them.

        Zumvolt's problem is that the enemy was weak and unable to build a comparable fleet. As a result, such a fancy ship turned out to be redundant. Half of the radars and weapons were removed from it and the series was cut. That's exactly the same as with the Sivulf submarines, instead of which they began to build cheap Virginia. It would not hurt us - Zumwalt’s failure is the fault of Russia, not America.

The multi-tower is completely absurd due to the heavy weight of even a tank with bulletproof armor, and weight is always a problem. Even to tow, if that, it is desirable to easier thanchek. In this case, the commander is physically unable to cope with the management of all these firing points at once. Two lighter tanks will be much more efficient and much less problematic.

          Moreover, already in Spain bulletproof booking has shown its complete unsuitability. Strictly speaking, 15 mm will not even protect from a 12.7 mm machine gun, even by the end of the PMV there were no problems with the penetration of tanks.

            What has shown there that is not - the tenth matter. In the 30s and early 40s, it was not possible to provide the tank with armor and mobility at the same time. Either a vehicle for raids on the rear, that is, a cavalry tank, it is also cruising, or for working with infantry. If combined - one or both tasks disappear.

              With any command of the T-34, or KV-1 was for the enemy a much bigger problem. The IS-7 didn’t go into series at all, and there were only 2 machine guns left in the tanks. No tank of the 30s would just go to the rear, there wouldn’t be enough fuel, you just can’t imagine what a tank formation is for a deep breakthrough. As for the armor, the cast structures were always available, and the BT had an engine of up to 400 liters. from. it is more than Pz-IV. Not to mention the T-28, which weighed 25 tons and had a 450-liter engine. from. Now imagine that such an aggregate in 1933 was made without two ridiculous bullet-turrets, a gun turret of a lower height, less body length. The Red Army in 1933 would already have something comparable to the T-34. Well, 37 mm anti-tank guns were from the very beginning of the 30s, not to mention actually modern anti-material rifles with a caliber of 20 mm or more. One could also wonder what the tank would do with it, and what it would do with the tank.

              At Khalkhin-Gol, BT tanks showed an extremely high fire hazard (Zhukov doesn’t make such a conclusion about T-26) and suffered heavy guns like the ones that the Germans, after 2 years, meeting with the T-34, will be the mother of the most selected German mats.

                    And there could be no other! Tanks like BT and armored vehicles BA6 / 10 carried all the load in those battles!
                    As of February 1, 1939, the 57th Special Corps had only 33 T-26, 18 HT-26 and six tractors based on the T-26. "Betašek", for comparison, there were 219 units. The situation has changed little in the future. So, on July 20, 1939, in the units of the 1st Army Group there were 10 KhT-26 tanks (in the 11th tank brigade) and 14 T-26 (in the 82nd rifle division). By the August battles, the number of "twenty-six", mainly chemical, slightly increased, but still they amounted to a relatively small percentage of the total number of tanks participating in the battles. Nevertheless, they were used quite intensively.

                    Yes, one of the T-26 withstood 5 hits and returned to SPAM under its own power! During the battles for Krasny Bor, the T-26 tank of junior lieutenant Yakovlev had 9 holes! But the car left the battle under its own power!
                    But these cases do not claim that the T-26 alone could break through a saturated anti-aircraft defense system without infantry, artillery and air cover!

                  Look above, then I am writing about the T-28, and what the Red Army could have already in 1933. It makes no sense to count how many enemy equipment were destroyed by tanks of 41, when they collided with German infantry, it is obvious that three of ours in a tank, even a light one, could take with them much more Germans than three of ours with three lines. But if you're talking about those. the reasons, well, so Prudnikova said very specifically about this, after studying the documents: "With 2% availability of spare parts for armored forces, we do not have!" Here you can not even go over to the command, especially since it received all this economy from all the Tukhachevskys. I also consider him guilty of the creation of the T-28 and T-35. And you have no questions about what if the T-26 was crawling on a 100 hp motor. from. then the BT had a capacity of up to 400 liters. from. however, this did not give him any significant superiority in mobility, why then is it necessary? At the same time, a motor of 300-400 liters. from. obviously, it consumes engine hours and fuel much faster than an engine for a hundred. That is, it seems like more spare parts are needed. A tank, when the observation organ is a viewing slot, can drive fast only if it knows for sure that it is not in danger, that is, in staged shows, the mechanic will open the hatch in general and with a lever back and forth 50 km / h across the field. Yes, it inspires from the outside.

                  And in battle 15 km / h will be.

                      Let me summarize. In the 50s, there was also a discussion about the mobility of the tank - "should the tank be on the battlefield." So, experts came to the conclusion that the heavy and well-protected "Centurion" showed incomparably higher mobility on the battlefield than the light, but high-speed AMX. About the same we came up with our home-grown mind during the war - light tanks were quickly ousted from the reconnaissance units of tank forces, because they did not show any advantages in mobility, and were not able to conduct firefights.

Similarly, anti-submariners, destroyers and cruisers will merge into the middle ship, the precedents were already in the person of Grozny - the firepower of the cruiser in the destroyer hull. And finally, the largest ships - UDC and aircraft carriers - likewise merge into a single large ship, which is also the core ship. A bunch of classes are not needed, only three are needed.

And to do the modern - we have been bringing armaments, problems with the propulsion system, and the power of the shipyards for a long time ...

        - 22160 - quite a suitable ship for long-range patrol, its task is reconnaissance and patrolling

        His tasks, repeatedly voiced by representatives of the planner, manufacturer and navy ranks, are patrolling the economy zone and the territory, fighting against poaching and piracy, and searching ships. 22160 - this is the usual FSB-shny PSKR, unknown winds entered in the Navy.
        What distant patrol or reconnaissance can we talk about if the ship:
        - There is no full-fledged GAS - it has an anti-sabotage complex that works only at short ranges.
        - There is no air defense, except for the palliative in the form of MANPADS. And it won’t be - the place of the air defense air defense module is occupied by residential and domestic premises, and there’s nowhere to put the radar. How to send a ship without air defense to a distant watch?

          4 December 2019 13: 17
          Why does he need air defense? From whom? This is a peacetime ship, designed to hang out in the Black Sea, the Mediterranean, the Gulf of Aden and save the resource of large ships, which we build a little because we can’t build a lot (and they don’t solve the money here - there are no capacities, problems with power plants). Well, put air defense, what air defense can you put on rank 3? What enemy? At rank 3, air defense is effectively impossible in principle. And to drive 1 rank - here they drove Chabanenko, 5 years in repair, so what?

          Again. The main task 22160 is to replace ships of rank 1-2, which we cannot build in large numbers and which each counts in solving peacetime tasks - observation, presence, limited intelligence, shipping protection, saved. operations. That is why they made 22160 with autonomy greater than that of 23350. In fact, 22160, we ensure that 1-2 ranks are kept in combat, their resources are not consumed, as was Chabanenko, but remains in case of a mess of varying degrees of intensity.

            Yeah - like LCS. And 22160 will have the same problems - weapons and protection do not correspond to the level of threats. Alas, compared with the 90s, the situation has changed dramatically - now even off the coast of third world countries you can get on board RCC.

            Good and necessary tasks. And most importantly, they are extremely urgent for the fleet, which has nothing to provide for the release of the SSBN, in which the special forces and mine-sweeping forces died. But we are not up to it - the main thing is to indicate the presence in the Gulf of Aden.
            Moreover, the OVR died precisely because of 22160 - for Chirkov ordered a "patrol ship" instead of the OVR corvette.

              The SSBN is generally a phantom, if they suddenly shoot (God forbid) they will, then from the pier. In fact, an expensive but useless means in the conditions of the dominance of NATO fleets at sea, with which no OVR can cope. Our economy is not the one to build a fleet that will ensure the effectiveness of the SSBNs at sea. There are no corvettes needed. Here we need the mass construction of destroyers and the solution of the task of covering the airborne deployment of the SSBN. And in 20 years we have not built a single ship of the 1st rank above the surface. We have no way to build rank 1 surface ships now.

              At the same time, from the point of view of pure logic, it’s time for all the SSBNs to be scrapped and build as many PGKR and mines. But here it is, from the point of view of the psychology of containment, different delivery methods are needed, therefore, SSBNs are needed, but they are not the basis of the containment forces, they were never and never will be.

              Minesweepers? And what are you going to trawl? Oh, are you going to trawl possible mines in case of a possible war? But nothing that the total dominance of NATO aviation in the same Baltic your minesweepers will multiply by zero immediately? Or do you have an economy capable of building your fighters so much that they can cover minesweepers?

              All discussions on minesweepers, the cover of the SSBNs have long been in the category of applied psychiatry, since Russia, by virtue of its economy, is five times weaker than the United States and ten times weaker than NATO CAN'T build a fleet comparable to NATO. So if you approach the tasks wisely, you should abandon all Napoleonic plans for the sweeping of the Baltic and focus on what we can, just on the presence in Aden and eastern Middle-earth. There is a war going on, if anything, in which we have our own interests and the course of which we influence.

              PS: corvettes were not hacked because they decided to build patrolmen and did not have enough money, there are money and capacities for rank 3. The combat value of those corvettes, like MRCs, in the big war is zero. And for today's tasks they are not suitable, unlike patrolmen. Therefore, there is no sense in building them. And the patrolmen are needed to keep the ranks 1-2, and at the same time not to lock themselves in their ports, but to ensure their presence where there are interests.

                And I'm not talking about the Baltic. I'm talking about the same SSBNs, for the removal of which from the base are urgently needed TSC.
                Otherwise, on the eve of D-Day, self-transporting mines will creep right into the fairway, and combat "captors" will be deployed next to the base - and that's it, the exit is closed.

                Glavkomat does not see prospects in the creation of ships, previously designated as "Corvette IAD". One of the main tasks of the OVR is to ensure the protection and defense of the naval forces in the areas of naval bases and in the adjacent territories. This task is now carried out by onshore observation means, stationary hydroacoustic stations and coastal missile-artillery troops, armed with anti-ship missiles of different ranges, as well as anti-submarine and strike aircraft.
                Having abandoned the corvette, the Navy turned to the idea of ​​creating patrol ships - less armed, but with greater autonomy and versatility, capable, among other things, of going on long voyages. The development of the patrol ship project will be carried out by OJSC "Severnoye Design Bureau
                © Navy Commander Chirkov
                And since in 2014 there was no forecast of a new base aircraft for anti-submarine aviation in the country (it is still absent), the only means of the near anti-aircraft defense was and is the OVR corvette. Work on which the commander-in-chief closed.

                In a major war, only ICBMs and SLBMs have combat value. And 40% of strategic UBCs in our country are the fleet.
                And the combat value of corvettes is to prevent a big war. Which is provided with a guaranteed retaliatory strike, inflicted by stealth deployed SSBNs. And the OVR corvettes are just one of those who provide this deployment.

          And yes, in 20385 autonomy is 15 days in 22160 - 60 days. So without building 22160 you have to drive to Aden Gorshkovs and ditch them as they killed Chabanenko to solve peacetime problems.

            I was going to build them in NE, Amber, NEA and everywhere except Zelenodolsk.

            And I will add - the Zelendolsky Design Bureau had and has an ace up its sleeve - 1166X, I will not disclose the last digit, but this is a ship that basically replaces 20385 and which can be built there. If you were even a little in the subject, you would know about it.

            on water and food. AND? 20380 normally went to the Red Sea, without any complaints. But if a real war happened, these ships would also be useful, unlike the troughs of 22160.

            And yes, I forgot to add, not a single trough 22160 has yet gone to the Gulf of Aden, is it strange?

We remove the really poor Yak-38, plant anti-submarine helicopters, get a pretty decent anti-submarine cruiser to replace the project 1123. By the way, initially "Kiev" was classified as an anti-submarine cruiser, and only then as a TAKR. And this is without taking into account the possible replacement of the Yak-38 in the air wing with the Yak-141, which did not take place due to the collapse.

      We made an inexpensive, reliable, autonomous, with good conditions for the crew, a patrol ship for solving long-range reconnaissance and patrolling tasks. "Anti-piracy". Which saves the resource of large ships, which we have few, and money, but it turns out to be "useless".

                Well, I do not pretend to global knowledge in aviation. I will try to explain about 22160.
                Well, firstly, the ship has a little displacement. In the conditions of the North and the Pacific Ocean, it seems to me that you need something at least 2500 tons.
                As a patrolman, he can and will do, but he cannot carry out long-range reconnaissance - there is nothing. In this case, there must be a HAS with the GPAA (or the possibility of its quick installation), radio and electronic intelligence equipment.
                If necessary, it cannot be converted into a warship - there is no place for self-defense air defense systems (MANPADS do not count), anti-submarine weapons. The deployment of an anti-ship missile system is declared only in theory.
                Well, if we talk about anti-piracy, then PMCs are simply arming ordinary trawlers and are not soaring.
                So do not exact, my opinion is that this project is the usual drank money.

                  1. GAS is needed for PLO. This is not a PLO ship. This is not a war ship at all.

                  2. His task is patrolling, electronic and optical reconnaissance, rescue operations, and shipping protection. To do this, he has everything he needs - weapons, a helicopter, comfortable cabins, a reserve of autonomy.

                  3. As for seaworthiness and the ice class - this is how it solves problems in the middle-earth and close by. So 22160 is needed in order to ensure the presence of eyes and ears just in the Gulf of Aden. off the coast of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula - watch, listen, if anything - protect shipping. Why there? But because all the wars are now going on there. Middle East, if that. Syria, Yemen, Libya. Near Iran, Israel, Egypt - the zone of interest of our strategic sexual partners :)

                  4. About trawlers. And that there are helicopters on trawlers, are there helicopters? And there is and there is a hangar. How fast are trawlers? No way. In fact, yes, trawlers are being converted into reconnaissance "vessels." But this is ersatz. And here we have a ship for reconnaissance, saved. operation and protection of shipping from small threats of a special structure - which has everything you need, which can relatively quickly move to the desired area, where it is comfortable to serve sailors and marines.

                  5. About drank ... I repeat, we ditched a ship of rank 1 in fact spending its resource on these tasks. Chabanenko from new ships and for 5 years in repair. Is it really drank the construction of a series of 6 ships of rank 3, when the alternative is the destruction of real warships? 22160 at the same time is not built to the detriment of large ships - you cannot build large ships on the capacities at which it is built. Those. loaded what can be loaded and this is exactly what is optimal - in order to preserve more powerful ships in the military at capacities that are not able to build 1-2 ranks, build 3 ranks to solve non-combat tasks, so as not to waste a bit of numerical strength of 1-2 ranks.

                    Well a helicopter, yes. well. Again, a sufficiently large vessel can be converted to a helicopter carrier.
                    Yes, you need a cheap enough ship to patrol, but which can become combat after not very large retrofitting. Due to limited resources, we cannot build non-adapted warships
                    for warfare.

                        2. As for the price - yes, that's a question. But this price includes an autonomy better than that of Gorshkov (60 days versus 30 days, 6000 miles versus 4500). Comfort for the crew on the long voyage. 25 knots (15 for a trawler). helicopter and hangar for him. Can you do this on a "cheap patrol" ship?

                        3. This is Zelenodolsky Shipyard - they did not build anything major there. So the construction work on it 22160 is not at the expense of other projects. And in addition, it saves the resource of other warships. Instead of 22160 it was possible to build karakurt or buoys probably, but they have limited combat capabilities, I would have to drive to Aden Gorshkov, and most importantly karakurt there is where to build more :)

                        Think for yourself - you have all the shipyards that can build krupnyak - trying to build it. There is a bunch of shipyards on which you can build a trifle, a trifle is built, but it has low autonomy and seaworthiness too. And now there is a REAL challenge - the presence in Middle-earth and Aden, where our interests and wars are. How to solve it? You can drive warships of rank 1-2 of which there are so few. You can convert trawlers and try to solve problems with them ... only their course is slow, and they all have ersatz. And it’s possible to make a normal patrol officer of a special building imprisoned specifically for patrol and reconnaissance, with a helicopter, blackjack ... and ... there is no and, women on the ship do not need :) On which it is comfortable to serve as sailors for marines in a hot climate, which is autonomous, which can do everything you really need to do.

                        When Timokhin writes about "a suitcase without a handle" ... you need to remember that 22160 is a ship for which there are real tasks in peacetime and which performs them bringing real benefits :) Intelligence is coming, shipping is protected, no one laughs at the fact that the Russians sail on trawlers :) And sailors and marines live in normal conditions, and do not steadfastly endure the conditions of military service :)

                        For reconnaissance, such a GAS is not applicable.
                        I did not set the price to blame for this project. I had in mind a cheaper ship than a class destroyer frigate. He simply raised the issue of reserving space for surveillance and weapon systems.

                        Well here is a poster from the exhibition what the ship should do. Something I doubt ...
                        It’s definitely not imprisoned for intelligence.

                        And what is not imprisoned then? He stands in Aden. It is a service and combat training. Listens to the broadcast. Observes with the help of radar and optically for the necessary objects. If necessary - quickly enough moves where necessary. It can save, it can drive pirates. Can take someone from the shore or land ashore. Maybe the flag to show the little things. And nothing more is needed from him in fact. And what intelligence equipment there is not written in the prospectus; it doesn’t eat much mass and displacement.

                        -increase in displacement to 2500-3000 tons. -increase in seaworthiness and expansion of the range of operation of a deck helicopter.
                        - expanding the capabilities of the helicopter basing from Ka-27 PS to Ka-27 submarines or even to attack helicopters (places for PLO weapons and search tools (RSAB)).
                        - installation of an infrasonic HAS with GPAA type imported AN / SQR-19 - long-range sonar reconnaissance.
                        - installation of systems RR and RTR - similar to a warship of the class frigate destroyer - radio and radio reconnaissance.
                        - reservation of space for SAM and ZAK self-defense.
                        - reservation of space for a complex of anti-ship missiles (if possible).
                        - installation of electronic warfare systems - similar to a warship of a frigate-destroyer class.
                        - for the functions of the OVR ship - if there is not enough space for the winged GAS, reserve a place for the lowered active-passive GAS and submarine destruction means (small-sized TA).
                        I think it will not be particularly expensive and the ship will come in handy.

Despite the fact that the British successfully used harriers in the Falkland War, the concept of an aircraft-carrying ship with UVVP aircraft proved to be justified.

    About the "Alaska" we can say that they were useless for the American fleet. It would be suitable for anyone else. When they entered service, there were no more tasks for them. And in terms of anti-aircraft weapons, they did not differ from any other American cruisers.
    We have nothing to evaluate about UDC at all. The Americans have a large ILC. Marines need to be transported. On what they want on that and carry. If you think that such things are the best, then they are. Our admirals, there, "Mistrals" were scared. Too everything was good inside. A ship that decomposes everything and everyone in the fleet.

      This is not entirely true.

      In the 30s, the Japanese and English fleets had a 30-node (on paper) wing of the LCR: Hood / Ripals / Rinaun and 4 Congo, respectively. New ships were also originally designed as high-speed. But the Americans not only did not have LCR, but also the main ships of the line had 21 knots, lagging behind half of the British and all Japanese with 25 knots. The Americans have long claimed that they have their own pride, but gradually they started to burn.

      A small high-speed battleship, like Scharnhonst or Dunkirk, could be a good option for Americans. But they could neither make a competent project nor implement it on time. But they made a great high-speed battleship, Iowa. That is, there were no tasks for Alaska, but there were already 2 times more ships for these tasks.

      Knowing the purchase the most reasonable, perhaps, would be the Italian version with the ejection of the central towers in New York and Wyoming. But this is an altistory.

          Yes, this is a common argument.

          In reality, the Americans were fighting with the KRT and the Congo, and on the Yamato Iowa it would probably not be enough. So a fast, cheap and well-armored Scharnhorst from the old 14 "Japanese would fit the real situation perfectly. But, again, he would know the buyback.

    The fleet did not feel the need for such bulky landing ships.


    If you look at the biography of anyone starting with the "Tarawa", then perhaps the most popular ships. Every two to three years there is a combat operation. Transfer of troops, supply, evacuation of embassies and removal of refugees. Humanitarian and peacekeeping actions. There is also the role of command ships on them. Rarely does a cruiser and destroyer have such an active service.

    classic landings are a thing of the past.


    Of the four main wars that the United States and Europeans waged during the Cold War (Korean War, Suez Crisis, Vietnam and Falkland), in three the outcome of the war was decided by sea landing. Moreover, of these, in two cases, the landing was a combined marine and helicopter, for which UDCs are best suited.

    ... UDC transport tasks are provided by a fleet of military transports, which are larger and faster than any Tarava, while also being able to unload on the high seas.


    Inexplicable phrase. Ro-ro transports unload on the high seas?

    Tactical helicopter landings are made from the decks of high-speed aircraft carriers of the Nimitz class (as was the case during Operation Eagle Claw).


    It was not a landing, but a special operations operation. To occupy an aircraft carrier for landing helicopters means to exclude its use as an aircraft carrier. So you have to put next to another normal aircraft carrier. Will come even more expensive.

    It is interesting that, despite the increased price tag, the new generation of UDC "America" ​​completely lost the docking camera for landing boats, ...


    Very stupid decision, I agree.

    Well, the main question - who wants to be on her deck in the war zone, under the fire of the "Bastions" and "Caliber"?


    And who wants to be in the hold of "Rogov", "Shabalin" or "Zubr" in the range of a heavy machine gun or ATGM?

        In the "Marine collection" dedicated to "Sverdlov" they compared "Sverdlov" and "Worcester" (where it was named "Worcester") and considered the latter the best ship.

          Why even compare Sverdlov and Worcester? Only due to the fact that this is the last Amer cruiser with 6 dm caliber, and Sverdlov was being built at this time. From created in different conditions, and their roles in the fleet were seen in different ways.

          Sverdlov, like the 30 bis destroyers, was built in general to revive shipbuilding enterprises after the Second World War than for any real military tasks.

            A boat with a platoon of paratroopers is the very tip of the iceberg. The landing was covered by four aircraft carriers (as in the Gulf War), and five landing ships participated, including the LPH-9 Guam of the Iwo Jima class, two dock ships and two tank landing ships. At least in terms of logistics, it is quite a large-scale military operation, the success of which largely depended on, among other things, the capabilities of the landing ships. And that the enemy did not offer resistance is his own business. No matter how "operetta" the war may be, it is still a war that requires thousands of specially trained people, and ships on which they, along with weapons, could be transported, fed and entertained on the way. Motobots and minesweepers, as in 1945 on Sakhalin, might not work. Incidentally, this battalion, which had landed, a year later, took off in full force.

            Grenada - the composition of the amphibious group: again LPH-9 "Guam", LHA-2 "Saipan" type "Tarawa", LSD-30 "Fort Snelling" type "Austin" and two "Newports". Nagging is incomprehensible.

            Panama - not the topic, I agree.

            The Gulf War is a special story. Here the landing force played a distracting role. Saddam, of course, knew about the resuscitation of "New Jersey" and "Missouri", so he did not expect anything other than a powerful amphibious assault. On the seashore, he placed the best divisions "Medina", "Hamurappi" and others. And on the border with Saudi Arabia, the extreme right flank remained uncovered. American landing ships entered the Persian Gulf empty, the marines remained on the coast and later pinned Iraqi forces in Kuwait. The main blow was dealt by the "light" divisions - 82nd and 101st, advancing farthest on Saddam's far right flank with the threat of going to the rear. The Iraqi army had to flee, and during the withdrawal they suffered huge losses from American air strikes. But if events had gone according to a different scenario, place Saddam's best forces on the Saudi border, and leave the coast uncovered. Then the Americans would probably repeat the Incheon scenario.

      Naturally, how would the main operands still be able to get there? In addition, the UDC capacity is an average reinforced MP battalion, well, you can cram two if you want - but they are able to solve limited tactical tasks, mainly capturing and holding a section of the coast until the main forces land. And these are much more specialized transports.

And the main striking force is an anti-tank helicopter battalion, consisting of 24 Apache helicopters. Tanks and infantry, avoiding powerful nodes of resistance, entered an area important for the enemy and stopped. The enemy is throwing its troops and tanks to strengthen the defense in a threatening direction, and then their helicopters quickly detect and bam, bam. The enemy's forces have dried up - our infantry and tanks are moving on. Only the enemy began to stir - we stopped and waited for the aircraft to finish him off. If someone broke through before us, only here, as a last resort, we give battle. The Americans won both Gulf Wars this way. The difference is that in 1991, Iraqi forces tried to counterstrike the Americans bypassing them and eventually died on the Death Highway. And in 2003, Saddam was a scientist and ordered "Hamurappi" and "Medina" to stand to the death and not leave in any case. The Americans cut through their defenses in a couple of narrow sections and took Baghdad without a fight.

        Thus, the reinforced infantry battalion on the shore is one thing, but the same battalion, covered by the wing of combat helicopters and aircraft, is a completely different matter. The battalion was landed where the enemy did not expect an attack and could not resist. They landed, entrenched and wait for the enemy to begin a counterattack. The enemy moved to the landing site - helicopters from UDC will kill him. The enemy does nothing, then the infantrymen expand the bridgehead until they clear enough of the coast. Then tanks, howitzers, armored personnel carriers landed there. Then the bridgehead expands even more, then the engineers build berths, and then the main forces begin to land from military transports and ro-ro.

        scare the Papuans.


        "Shabalin", "Zubr" or "Horns" cannot even do that. The Papuans will bury one rusty T-55 in the sand on the beach, disguise it, and nothing can be done to it. He will let the DK closer and from a cannon from 200-300 meters will shoot the bridge and gun mounts with accurate fire, and then under the waterline until it sinks.

    I fully support the respected Oleg Kaptsov, only there you need to add the famous round Popovka, all the battleships, and the especially meaningless frigate battleship for 48 speed super-Gorshkov, the destroyer-type battleship Leader and AV Lamantin and Storm.

    Negative experience is also experience. Steamboats at one time were also considered awkward dirty galoshes compared to handsome sailing ships. Only real databases can show who is beautiful - and who is smart.

    The author fell off the stove. Not the slightest idea of ​​the fleet and the army. The author does not know HISTORY either. And about the purpose and use he will have to learn by learning at least in college equivalent to vocational schools. He heard about torpedoes, but about anti-torpedo defense, no, about the principle of unsinkability, too. About the complexity of use, you must at least finish the college.
